BLACK QUEENS CLAIM OPENING DAY AWCON WIN

Ghana’s Black Queens defeated their Algerian counterparts to secure an opening day win at this year’s African Women’s Cup of Nations. The Queens took a 12th minute lead courtesy Gladys Amfobea’s long range strike, and never looked back.

The Algerians put up a brave fight throughout the contest, but it was the Queens who squandered numerous opportunities to extend their lead.
Ghana are seeking a first ever AWCON trophy, and will next face Mali on Tuesday.

In the other group A game, Cameroun recovered from conceding first to record a 2-1 win against Mali.

The PFAG commends the Black Queens on a positive start. We remain here with you and for you, as you strive to win the title!
